ED preparing a strong case against D.K. Shivakumar


New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS): A day after the Enforcement Directiorate (ED) arrested Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar on money laundering charges, the agency is busy preparing a strong case against him for presentation in court, official sources here said on Wednesday.

The ED Director S.K. Misra is meeting with top lawyers of the agency, while official sources told IANS that the agency will request the court for 5 days of custody for Shivakumar.

Following his arrest on Tuesday night, Shivakumar was taken to a hospital for medical examination when his blood pressure was found to be high.

Shivakumar's arrest marks the second big jolt for the Congress party, after the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on August 20 in the INX-Media case.

Meanwhile, the investigating agencies are also tightening the noose around another Congress leader, Kuldeep Bishnoi, the sources said.

    There will be a running commentary for couple of days by ED. TV channels specially those controlled by BJP, are desperate for some contents that can deflect attention from Economy and Kashmir.

    ED guys will retire rich for sure and will have a post retirement job also guaranteed.

    But, what will be the outcome? Nothing. Chidambarum has no case or FIR registered against him,, yet been arrested. This is all joke to make people fools.

    It is ironic that people who were convicted of looting and corruption are ruling the state and while ED is preparing a strong case arrest opposition leaders with trumped up charges for electoral gains.
